Hourglass tree frogs are short lived, usually lasting less than 3 years.

Reproduction & Offspring:

Females select a mate from the males' calls and travel some distance to a secure place, where they usually lay the eggs above water. However, if the eggs are laid too high, they may fall pray to ants or dry out, and if they are placed too close to the surface, they may end up submerged, falling pray to fish and other cannibalistic tadpoles.
